This sounds pretty dope. Druck was the best Skam adaptation out of the bunch. And Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo was a German show a bit similar in tone and style to Euphoria and that was great also.

Euphoria is already an adaption of an Israeli series. So this is an adaption of an adaption.

Given the disastrous track record of typical German TV and movie productions, there's really no need for some German adaption of Euphoria. It's only going to be much worse than the original or the US adaption. Literally the only thing German TV and movie industry is capable to do is to recycle "successful" concepts and then recycle these concepts again and again without any regard for quality or, you might have guessed it, originality.

Euphoria isn’t original, it’s an adaptation of an Israeli series

Did you watch Tatortreiniger? I also liked Morgen hör ich auf and Bruder - Schwarze Macht. Der Pass is also not bad, Club der roten Bänder was a superior adaption than Red Band Society. Dark is a german show too. In addition Netflix made Unorthodox which won the Emmy for Best Mini-Series.

I've heard that the israeli version is pretty different though.

One of my weird hobbies is comparing adaptions from all over the world, I love how The Bridge, for example has been adapted six times already.

The catalan show Polseres Vermelles (polseres rojas in spanish) has also been super successfully adapted in italy, france and germany, the american red band society was a flop though.

If you'd watched it you'd know that it does the exact opposite, there is no scene where drugs are portrayed as cool, just as a crutch, constantly causing conflict in the process.

There's an hour long episode which is basically just a conversation about how bad drug addiction is for the main character.

Confused on your use of "gaslighting" too

At least Netflix German series, it's pretty good. Are you German?

I have a german friend and he hates German TV, which surprised me as my experience from German-Netflix content was good lol

I heard Barbarians on Netflix is pretty good. Its about the conflict between Roman Empire and Germanics. Pretty amazing history so the material they have makes me optimistic

I think you forgot about:

> Adolf Hitler wakes up in the 21st century. He quickly gains media attention, but while Germany finds him hilarious and charming, Hitler makes some serious observations about society.

That sounds horrible to be honest. Even within Germany our movie and TV show productions are considered pretty bad, with a few noteable exceptions.

As someone who works with troubled teenagers in Germany I just cannot wait for them to watch this and think “this is literally me”.

Why? It’s barely popular in the USA for the cost.

i mean it's not Game of Thrones/House of Dragon level sure, but it's definitely popular. HBO's most popular ongoing show besides House of the Dragon right? With quite the cultural impact too. And it's not like it's more expensive than stuff like House of the Dragon or Westworld is it?

Also, I don't think HBO is ever really overconcerned with budget the same way, let's say... Netflix are. The show is a success so they'll keep it going for the foreseeable future.

If they're "incredibly concerned" about budget... then why renew it?

> At that price, Euphoria is a massive failure.

C'mon, there's no way you can say that with a serious face. This show is one of the most discussed in recent years. Even Bratz just did an animation of the popular "Bitch you better be jokin'" scene. Regardless of the budget most shows don't get to the level of relevance Euphoria has gotten.

Because they’re bad at business? You can be bad at business but still make Hollywood content. That’s why Zaslav is trying to completely overhaul the company, they have huge debts and aren’t chipping away at them like say Netflix is.

You are disconnecting the actual numbers from your argument. It is not popular by that metric. It is very popular for a very vocal but small niche, however. There’s definitely a lot of memes. Not a lot of watchers, though.
